Beautiful song, amazing vocals, that's why I wanted to try to learn it.
Bruce probably plays it in an open tuning, but it still sounds pretty good in standard tuning.
Verses jump between  Eand C#m, make sure to leave the high-e open as much as you can and let it ring to 
get the feel of this one (particularly on the C#m, G#m, F#).
[Verse 1]
EAs I Stare into the flame
Filled up with feelings I can't naC#mme
EImages of life appear
Regret and anger, love and feaC#mr
[Bridge]
BDark things drift across the screen
G#mOf mind behind whose veil are seen
F#Loves ferocious eyes, and clear
The words come flying to my ear
[Chorus]
Go Eon -- put it in your heart
     C#mPut it in your heart
[Verse 2]
ETerrible deeds done in the name
Of tunnel vision and fear of changeC#m  
ESurely are expressions of
A soul that's turned it's back on lC#move
[Bridge]
BAll the sirens all the tongues
G#mThe song of air in every lung
F#Heavens perfect alchemy
Put me with you and you with me
[Chorus]
Come Eon -- put that in your heart
C#mCome on put it in your heart
[Bridge]
BAll the sirens all the tongues
G#mThe song of air in every lung
F#Heavens perfect alchemy
Put me with you and you with me
[Chorus]
Come Eon -- put that in your heart
C#mCome on put it in your heart
